Yesterday my brother Danny – a young man who overcame so much in his short life with so much promise ahead – passed away. My heart is breaking & I’ll miss him forever. Prayers for our family in this impossibly difficult time would be appreciated. ????(photo at boot camp graduation) pic.twitter.com/NOCGAVz6C2

The younger brother of former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill has been found dead in his Southern California home.
Katie Hill — who resigned from Congress last year — remembered her brother Daniel Brett Bennett on Sunday as a young man with “so much promise.”
“Yesterday my brother Danny – a young man who overcame so much in his short life with so much promise ahead – passed away,” Hill wrote.
“My heart is breaking & I’ll miss him forever. Prayers for our family in this impossibly difficult time would be appreciated.”
Bennett, 20, was found unresponsive at his home in Santa Clarita, California on Saturday, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal.
A cause of death was not released. Police appeared to rule out foul play.
Hill resigned amid allegations of an affair.
She admitted to being in a relationship with her estranged husband and a former female campaign worker.
Hill was also been accused of having an affair with a former legislative director, which she has denied.
The scandal led to the release of embarrassing photos of the congresswoman, which she said was revenge porn leaked by her estranged husband.
The husband, Kenny Heslep, claims he was hacked.
